The Amazing Adventures of Kyrgyzstan and Col

Chapter Two: Soviet-Era Station Wagons

Renwick - Marshall 2K6. Damn.


My week in Sofia is coming to an end, but a new one in Austria will begin soon. Time went by so fast. It's weird how even though people need a rest and a vacation sometimes, I feel a little strange having left Krygyzstan and my service for a few weeks to travel around Europe. A part of me feels silly for feeling this way. Instead of actually writing anything, here's a list. Lists were a good idea.

- Saw Superman at a theater with popcorn, Diet Coke and beer.
- Walked the city alone and got lost but found my way home, reading Cyrillic.

- Ate McDonald's. Twice.
- Attended a 3-day Bulgarian "Woodstock," but only for a day and night.

- Spent significant time at a coffee shop, reading and drinking.
- Took an inter-Bulgarian train ride.

- Went to a local's birthday party.
- Left the comforts of city life, and ventured off outside Sofia for a day trip.

- Hung out with an Austrian, an Australian, an Italian, some Germans and a bunch of Bulgarians, all of whom could speak fluent English. Even the Australian.
- Pushed the Berlin Wall over.


And that's a wrap. See you when I see you, friend.


Up, up and away.
